 I'm happy to report that even my Win 3.11 machine,with TS
 4,automatically 'sprang forward' in the time area,and all market data
 seems intact.

========================

My computer clock got  so excited by this Daylight Savings Thingy that it 
'sprang forward' TWO hours.  And I also found my TS data showing the last  
bar on charts ending the day 1  hour earlier than it 'used to' or should.  I 
did 2 things following that and I don't know which impacted the issue with 
respect to the times on TS data.  First I rebooted.  And before I reloaded GS 
and TS I just reset my computer clock time.  So I don't know if the 'reboot' 
or just resetting my computer clock 'fixed' the problem of displaying the 
'right' time on TS charts.  I did go through the checks Robert Cummings 
suggested earlier today and found everything according to Hoyle on that end.  

I note a potential 'misunderstanding' though with respect to one issue Robert 
discussed.  It concerns the last 'important part' he mentioned:  He stressed 
that, while in the Edit Daylight Savings screen for an exchange, to look and 
see what the GMT is set at and then mentioned that he was "on CT" so his is 
set at -360.  I do believe that setting is for the Exchange time zone and NOT 
for 'his'.  So for that setting it shouldn't matter if he is on CT or some 
other time zone (such as the 'preferred' time  zone - Pacific.  You know, the 
one I'M in! <G>).  Boy, if I'm wrong here I hope somebody blows the whistle 
on me.
